TEMPOH Slow - Black Punxx (EP)

Singer Nicholas Suhr, longtime drummer for K. Flay, has brought his passion to the front of the stage, with this being his new project TEMPOH Slow. Joined by drummer and producer Nick Spreigl (formerly with The Wind and the Wave and Cray) TEMPOH Slow became the anchor for their lives while Los Angeles and its music scene lay vacant due to Covid and the uncertainty of live music. Aggressively emotive, visceral and uncompromising. They revel in being musical shapeshifters averse to genres.

"My Own Worst Enemy" is about getting in my own way, which I think we all do. When it comes to love, our goals, and our own happiness, we often self sabotage because it’s easier to stay in the same spot. Even when it’s time to move on, stop bad habits, and improve, I think we often romanticize where we are and don’t realize that there is something better and more exciting ahead. I needed to stop thinking that the past me was still here. It’s about moving on from yourself.

"This EP goes to so many places sonically and lyrically, but the whole thing is pretty much a back and forth internal dialogue. I went through a gnarly time w/ anxiety and depression, and these songs were originally sad little poems or lines I would write. But the brightness and power of the music brings it to a place where anyone can hear them and just think they are love songs. Maybe they are! Maybe they aren't.
